Police in Yellowknife say a man from Whitehorse was attacked in the city’s downtown late on Friday evening.

In a news release issued on Monday afternoon, RCMP say the 23-year-old was “physically assaulted” outside a downtown residence and taken to Stanton Territorial Hospital with serious injuries. He was later transported to Edmonton by air ambulance for further treatment.

Police arrested a 22-year-old named Karl James Gardlund, from Yellowknife, in connection with the attack. He faces a charge of aggravated assault and appeared before a justice of the peace over the weekend.
